New Project 52 for 2024

Thank you DrLex and 1971_M5 for your choices.
 
15/52: Small Little Flowers. THANKS to BratPix and Project 52... I have indeed been shooting more in 2024. It has been very enjoyable. A good thing. I am thankful for the motivation. It has been positive and fun. Not that there has been anything earth-shattering in terms of results, but still, getting out with the camera always provides a nice mental boost. However... this week, I "kinda ran out of fresh stuff" -- so I had to go out in the yard and take a picture... in order to keep the "52" string alive. LOL. :) These little flowers are only about 5mm in diameter (I measured). Along with this shot, I also got some others from around the house.. It was a nice day to walk in the yard for 15 minutes... in the sunshine with a light breeze. I hardly ever do that!

Project 52, Week 16

This pink-flowered cherry tree in the northern grove of Parc de Sceaux has had the courage to offer us white flowers too, normally reserved for the southern grove. I have not seen any other cherry tree so open-minded.

Some of the reflective plates covering the facades of the buildings at the Collège Eugène Chevreul in L'Haÿ-les-Roses are distorted. At the right angle, the reflections of nearby trees evoke faces. I am particularly drawn to those that can be seen on a specific pair of plates, photographed here on April 6, 2024.

I had already used this pair of plates for the Week 8 photo in my 2022 project, entitled Hommage à Edvard Munch:

I had reused it for this photo posted on February 17, 2024 under the title Le cri:

These are all really ace. The first one is my favourite but I am glad to see all 3 to be honest.

Good day (evening) to you, Sir! Yes, I have also seen a few instances of the pink-white cherry "phenomenon" here locally as well. A grafting issue! Motivated by your pictures, I will focus a bit more on "cherries" next year! Background: I attended the "U-Dub" from 1977 to 1983... it took me 6 years instead of 4 -- for various reasons :) and although the cherry trees were "there" (in the "Quad") when I was going to school, it wasn't a big deal back then. Sure, it was pretty, but it was mostly just the students and professors who saw the beauty. Nowadays, it has evolved into a bigger regional event of sorts (as with most things)... which is probably why I have not seen the UW cherry blossoms in AGES! Maybe next year I will go?

Plan your visit to come to the University of Washington's Seattle campus to witness the iconic cherry trees in peak bloom.
